UMBRELLA-HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUY MARDOCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Illinois City, in the county of Rock Island and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful improvements in Umbrella-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to umbrella holders, and particularly to a holder designed for use upon the frame of a riding plow and it has for its object the provision of a holder of this character which may be readily applied to the frame in advance of the drivers seat and provided with means which will be adjustable to secure the holder in place upon the frame and to also confine the umbrella in a supported position.

Another object of the invention is the provision of an umbrella holder which will consist of a socket member having adjust able portions that are adapted when adjusted to prescribed positions to permit of the convenient application of the stick of the umbrella to the holder or the removal of the same therefrom.

l/Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings :-Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a seat of an agricultural implement, showing the application of the invention thereto; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the holder; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the holder, showin the different parts thereof separated from each other; and Fig. l is a vertical section through the holder.

The holder is one of a design which may be used in connection with a form of riding plow having a frame A, as shown in Fig. 1 and a seat B mounted on the frame in the usual manner. The frame in the present instance has spaced parallel bars and between the bars at a suitable point in advance of the drivers seat B is mounted the holder.

The holder consists of mating socket and clamping sections 1 and 2, the former being respectively provided at its upper and lower ends with lugs at and 8, which are disposed directly against similar lugs 5 and 9 respectively formed at the upper and lower ends of the section 2. The said sections 1 and 2 are provided with arcuate inner walls Specification of Letters Patent.

which together, define a continuous cylindrical passage 3, in which the stick C of the umbrella D herein shown may be eX- tended.

A, fastening clip 7 is employed for the dual purpose of retaining the sections in clamped positions about the stick and to also hold the sections properly applied to the plow frame. This clip is provided with a long branch 11 and short angularly disposed branches 6 and 10, the former being extended through suitable passages in the lugs a and 5 of the sections 1 and 2, while the branch 10 is extended through the pas sages formed in the mating lugs 8 and 9. The lugs formed on the sections 1 and 2 are offset suiiiciently from the axis of the passage 3 so that the long branch 11 of the clip will be arranged at such an angle that will permit the holder to be supported in a vertical position when disposed between the parallel bars of the frame A. One of the bars is adapted to be passed between the clips and the adjacent section 1 0f the 4 holder.

T he branches 6 and 10 are threaded at 12 and mounted for adjustments on the threaded portions are clamping nuts 13, which are adapted to be adjusted manually so as to effect a proper application of the holder to the frame and to also move the sections 1 and 2 with relation to each other and into proper clamping engagement with the stick.

Through the construction described it is readily apparent that the holder may be readily connected with or disconnected from any standard form of plow frame; that the stick of the umbrella is free for vertical sliding adjustment when the sections 1 and 2 of the holder are moved slightly away from each other and that when the sections are moved toward each other, the stick will be properly held in the required adjusted position.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details of construction may he resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention as claimed.

1 claim combination with a seat supporting bar,

the opposing sides to receive an umbrella stick, and a U-bolt arranged with its central portion on the opposite side of said bar andwith its arms above and below the bar and passed through coincident openings in said matched sections, and nuts screwed on said arms of theU-bolt and clamping said sections together and on opposite sides of the umbrella stick and also clamping said bar between said U-bolt and one ofthe said matched sections. e
